Welcome to the Brig: OASCOM

[Karbon74]

Hello everyone - have been quiet here for a while but just wanted to share my experience. I commissioned Oascom to create a custom and fully skeletonized Daytona for me. Total cost of the modification was nearly $6k. I was impressed with his craftsmanship so decided to progress. He had been highly responsive working on the project and sent me a number of images and videos along the way. He was supposed to ship it out last week, but suddenly vanished. I sincerely hope that if this is a health issue, he recovers quickly. If not, I would either like a refund or the watch to be shipped out ASAP. Just wanted to say the work that he has done looks incredible from the pics and videos. I will keep folks posted if I receive shipment confirmation.

The coincidence and timing are mindblowing

This is just a fuckfest of things that keep piling up and going sideways.

Really wonder how many pending orders he has. A couple of watches for $2-3k a pop, a few $5-6k Daytonas/superfrankens/skeletonized workers, you can hit 6 figures easily.....

Sorry who are?

I will remain neutral and not jump to assumptions since not everyone is able to contribute significantly to the forum. That being said, I hope @dixon12876 you receive your watch. I'm curious if you can post a few pictures that you received? I know on his Instagram he posted a few clips of a Daytona openwork he was building back in September. Please update us if you receive it. I'm still hopeful that @Oascom has no ill intent, just sloppy business practices. This appears to be the case so far at least.

He showed up twice to RWI to post, and hasn't been back since Thursday. If he really cared he would be responding to PMs, providing proof, encouraging other members to provide proof of work, and none of that has happened. He could have also reached out directly to the mods and provided proof of medical issues or something, as taking tens of thousands of dollars is a big deal. To my knowledge he hasn't based on the tone we are still hearing from the mods.

If he had no ill intent he would have made it abundantly clear. He would have actually sent back funds and watches. Who has received those back yet?

These pretzels are makin' me thirsty.

What an utterly depressing thread... So disappointing. The 2 posts trying to explain everything aren't helping either.

Trying to avoid the pitchforks for the moment . I would like to think that @Oascom is intelligent enough to know that many people know how to find him, and is hurriedly working on his queue. Let's be realistic, he was advertising his services on places like Instagram. If he's taking money for services not rendered, last I checked that is wire fraud's definition, which is a federal crime that carries a sentence of up to 20 years' imprisonment and fines of up to $250,000 for individuals. All it takes is one or two angry customers that sent him large sums of money, and are willing to pursue charges, and he's screwed. This is why I tried to maintain a positive outlook for the moment.

I like your positivity.

I guess in a few weeks or months, we'll know how it all turned out. For everyone he owes services or money, I hope & wish that they'll be made whole.

@Oascom Brother, you have a golden and very generous chance, that is rarely given to others, to reverse this whole shitshow.

Tbh, for 10k or 15k, personally, I'd have already lawyered up so hard, even if I would lose even more money in the end, just for the principle and the damn heck of it...

There are folks that have been here a lot longer and have never posted. Some just stay in the shadows. If that was me, a potential 6K loss would certainly be a motivation to make a post.

Hey all, I wasn't happy with the quality of the work performed by @Oascom on the initial F-91W Oascom x RWI mod, so I sent it back to him for some additional work. Instead of taking 6 decades like I expected, it took 6 hours. Here's the updated side by side photos. I paid $10k USD for the additional improvements. Do you think this was a fair price?

[FOR SALE] - AUCTION: 1 of 1 Oascom x RWI F91-W (Proceeds Benefit RWI)

Before anyone asks, yes, I have @trailboss99 approval to auction of this 1 of 1 Oascom x RWI F91-W. Trailboss has informed the sales team. Here's the details on this unique piece... I designed, printed, and assembled this watch mid morning as a joke here...

In all seriousness the bidding is currently at $100 USD. All proceeds go to RWI. Happy bidding!

I call them the watchers lol. I have talked to many of them over the years. They do not post but some are very aware of what is going on in RWI.

Let me take a moment to address some of the comments made here directly.

Firstly, most orders have now been fulfilled, and there are only few builds left to complete. I understand that for those waiting, delays are frustrating, and I sincerely apologize for the time it has taken.

Regarding pre-paid work, I want to clarify that the accusation that funds from pre-payments have been used for unrelated expenses is not only false but also deeply upsetting. While I appreciate the business advice some have offered on managing workflow, the suggestion that I am running a 'Ponzi scheme' is not only untrue but incredibly disheartening to hear.

For transparency, I have every watch part and every watch securely stored and allocated to the respective projects. I document this through pictures and videos. The reason for requiring pre-payment on certain items, like dials, is because, in the past, people have placed orders and backed out, leaving me out of pocket for time and materials.

I recognize and understand the frustration with delays. I’m not the first business owner to face scaling or workflow challenges, but I want to be clear: the suggestion of criminal intent is baseless and unfair. I’ve openly acknowledged these challenges and am taking active steps to address them.

That said, it’s important to set realistic expectations. Some people seem to expect perfection, delivered quickly and at a low cost. These are contradictory demands, and it’s impossible to meet them all. If my work, prices, or timelines don’t align with what you’re looking for, I encourage you to explore other talented modders and watchsmiths within this incredible community.

As others have pointed out, if anyone believes they’ve been defrauded or had items stolen, I invite them to come forward. My backlog is long, and I’ve been transparent about that. But amid this ongoing debate about my integrity, I’ve received 12 new requests, which suggests there’s still confidence in my work despite the criticism here.

Moving forward, I plan to reject all new work requests as I reassess my processes and focus on fulfilling the remaining overdue orders. This has been a priority I’ve acknowledged both privately and publicly, and I remain committed to seeing it through.

Thank you for your patience and for allowing me the opportunity to address these concerns.

Thanks to the RWI staff for the push, I am receiving my order in the mail today (it was due to arrive yesterday but there was a delay by USPS). I will report back once the watch is in my hands.

I'd go for it. But I don't think I can pull it off getting out of my 2022 Bentley with this impressive horological wonder.

Can you hold this piece for me until July next year, when I'm scheduled to get my 2026 Ferrari delivered?

I want my ride to match this exquisite and royal timepiece!

Alright good news everyone... I was really worried Oascom had taken my money too, but I just received in the mail a custom Casio F-91W (RWI x Oascom collaboration). I paid $8k USD for it. Do you think this price was fair for the work performed? And big thanks to @trailboss99 for your collaboration with @Oascom on this special project!

$8000 ??? Is it a joke ?

 

[Slugger]

Most certainly. Look at that strap! Definitely not from Moldova.

I'm disappointed you aren't taking Oascom's handiwork seriously. He is an artisan!

My husband 3D prints the links for the straps, which I cover with leather and make the straps. But even these details, which are hidden from view, look more presentable than your watch.

My husband said this watch case took three grams of plastic and no more than 15 minutes of printing. Moreover, he showed a site where you can buy such a model for a couple of dozen dollars
